THE INDIAN TERRITORY OPENS
TO SETTLEMENT.
TOzark Democrat

[OZark DemOcratl
The Fort Smith Elevator thinks the re-
cent decision of Commissioner Atkins
virtually opens up the Indian country to
settlement, Mr.. Atkins says:
81 stated in my report to the Depart
ment dated March 23d, 1887, that, as the
Cherokee Nation has seen ht to take the
discrimination of claims into Its own
hands, do not sec thyt any action Is
necessary on the part of the Department
except to inform the Cherokee authorities
that it will determine for itself whether
or not any person shall be removed as an
intruder, and that it will not permit any
uerson to be deprixed of his improvement
without fair consideration for the same
The Department has concurred IN these
views, and says: -,
Every man is entitled to fair consid'
Grafton for his property, though ne may
haoe obtained it in the Cherokee country
bv virtue of right claimed by him there
Where a person has been declared an IN
truder. and his removal determined upon
bv this Department, his improvements
should be appraised, as hereinbetore IN
dicated, and the Cherokee Nation should
purchase them at their appropriated value
and then dispose of them to its own citl
zens."
Commenting on this the Elevator says
"Now, every farmer from Maine tc
Georgia, can move to the Indian country
He can get of nine-tenths of the Indians
a right 10 locate some little pace, build
on it and improve it, and set up owner
ship to it, and the commissioner says be
can hold it until the Nation pays him fol
it. So we say the way into the Indian
country is open to settlers, and by this de-
cision the country will rapidly fill up
so fast, indeed. that it will be "the devil
take the hindmost man in getting there,
and it will take more money to get then
away and pay for improvements thar

from driving his wagons, loaded with

he is ordered to move, if that is ever done
he can have his improvements appraised
and wait until they are paid for. and ther
he can % and settle IN anther place, and
so on; and W hen the United States make

Monroe died in New York insOlYent.
Fillmore left the White House a poor
man.
Pierce left $4,000 and no one to in

Washington's estate at his death was
valued at 100000.
Polk left about $l5O,OOO. As he had
no children Mrs. Polk received all.
Adams was poor, but by his wise and
able management he never suffered want.
Arthur spent great deal of money on

It is not improbable that Grover
Cleve eland may 90 out of the White House
with about 100000.
Garfield left about $4,000, and the
gifts Mrs. Garfield has received have
made her wealthy woman.
Tyler went to the White House poor

his salary to live in comfort.
When Jefferson entered the capitol he
was wealthy man, but he lost all his
property and died insolvent,

his adopted son, is now the property of
the state.
When Johnson's term expired he had
about Sl50,000, a good deal of which was
lost by the Freedmans bank.
Madison was a wealthy man when he
became resident, and left q handsome

Todd, squandered and left her poor

WHAT 4 FAILURE

The administration Of Grover Cleve-
land, according to some of our republican
contemporaries, is colossal failure; and
looking oyer portion of the field, we
agree that in many respects the govern
ment is not governed according to the
precedents of the twenty-five years i'm
mediateIY preced NJ bis term. The
republican confederate brigadiers, Aker-
man, Key, Holden, Orr, Hunt, Longstreet
and Mosby, have been cruelty placed in
the background, and other confederate
chieftains in some instances eli the places.
The president disIoyslly refuses to pander
to the money power, or to allow the use
of his great influence to Jay Gould and
other patriots in creating another Black
Friday. The profits of Office holding
have been ruinously reduced, insomuch,
that annually an excess of nearly hun
dred million dollars Of the revenue Is
suffered to reach the Golfers of the gov
ernment, which during the administra-
ton of his republican predecessors, always
sought cosy repose in the pockets of the
truly loyal offoe-holder. Slices of the
public domain almost equaling empires in
area have been taken from the patriotic
railroad monopolies of the east on such
technical pretexts that they have not
complied with any of the terms OF the
donation and have been restored to the
government land department to become
homes for the common herd. Brilliant
business sagacity has not been recognized
by him in the selection of his cabinet.
No example like Geo. M. Robeson, who
entered the public service poor man,
possessing less than a thousand dollar
income annually, and yet, on salary Of
ten thousand dollars year, increased his
bank account to more than S467 ,OOO with
in few months, has appeared. The per-
nicious influence of the administration on
some of the industries which were foster
ed and nurtured into life by republican
rule, has been crushing, ney. paralysing.
It will be remembered that, while Squire
Hayes occupied President Tilden's seat,
the exhilarating, popular, profitable and
healthful industries built up in Louisiana,
vulgarly called forgery, perjury and lar
eeny, had some recognition and protection
from the government, and that about 10
enterprising citizens of that state, who
had exercised these pleasant avocatlonS In
connection with the returning boards of
1861, received premiums for their ex-
cellent performances in the way OF soft
places and fine, fat offices under the gov
ernmens; but alas for American enter
prise. This old fogy democratic govern
ment of ours has wholly ignored all such
pluck and snap, and plodding, one-gaI'
fused democrats who actually have to
work for their salaries, now occupy their
places. Old Grover Cleveland is sort of
Andrew Jackson kind of fellow, anyway.

The Visit Not Autbor,zed.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: In your issue
OF Wednesday you quote from the Balti-
more NelrS to the effect that O committee from
Mount Vernon Place NJ. H. Church South, of
this city, has called upon the Rev. DR.. Cox
asking his return to this city. This must be a
oihcial body OF the church diseloses the fact
that no COMMITTEES has been appointed for any
buch purpose, and no one has been authorized
py the oihcial body to make any such request
Judging from the increased membership OF the
church ana the large congregations for the past
year, there can, be no good reason why the
present pastor should not be returned. If any
one has assumed TO wait upon DR., Cox and 10
ask for his transfer to this city, It has been an
assumption not warranted by any church au-
thority, Tor any pastoral change would meet
with the disapproval of at least nine tenths of
Church. OBSERVER.
